Today was a fun day to get mail! I received three packages full of autographed goodies.
The first package I opened contained a pair of magazines signed by “The King” Richard Petty. Mr Petty was kind enough to sign the March 1992 and December 1992 Stock Car Racing magazines in thin silver paint pen. They look great! I am going to give one to my brother who is a big NASCAR fan.
The second package I opened contained a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines signed by Jake Arrieta. I never figured I would get one Jake Arrieta autograph in my collection much less two! Pat Neshek started helping out collectors to get items signed from the Phillies for a nominal fee. I mailed in some cards for Caden and a pair of SI’s for me. I received the SI’s today. They are both signed beautifully! They are the 03.28.2016 and 10.10.2016 issues. I cannot thank Pat enough for helping out fellow collectors.
The last package I opened contained a bunch of autographed items from spring training that Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN) got for me. These items are:
Amir Garrett ML Debut tickets X3
Ariel Hernandez ML Debut tickets X2
Jesse Winker ML Debut ticket
Jimmy Sherfy ML Debut tickets X2
David Dahl ML Debut ticket
Alen Hansen ML Debut ticket
Pablo Sandoval ML Debut ticket
Francisco Mejia ML Debut tickets X2
Rob Refsnyder 1st Hit ticket
Jeff Mathis – 02.24.2003 Sports Illustrated
Vinnie has a bunch of other items for the visiting Seattle teams this season. He does a fantastic job on my items and cannot wait to see what else he has for me this year!

Don’t Be Crede
Today I received a package from Tim K (josh96 on SCN) who went to the Chicago Sports Spectacular last weekend and got me a couple autographs. Tim got AJ Pierzynski to sign a pair of ESPN magazines from when he, Torii Hunter, Jacque Jones, and Doug Mientkiewicz were on the cover. I already had one issue signed by all four but I love that issue so much I started two more. One is now done with AJ being added to it and the other is just missing Torii. Tim also got Joe Crede to sign a 2009 Topps card which will be a nice upgrade to the one I currently have. This was the first time Tim and I worked together and I could not be happier! Thank you Tim!
Turn To Max
Today I received a pair of packages I am excited to add to the collection. The first package contained the 10.30.2017 issue of Sports Illustrated signed by Justin Turner. Mark B (renaissancemanla on SCN) got Justin to sign it at Albert Pujols’ golf event on March 1st. It turned out great!
The other package was from Matt H (MattyIce on SCN) who lives near the Twins spring training complex and was able to hook me up with the following items signed beautifully in blue:
2017 Topps Heritage Phil Hughes #562
Max Kepler ticket with “Debut”
Max Kepler ticket with “1st HR”
It was a fun day of mail!

Today I received a baseball signed by Kevin Kiermaier that Doug B (dugoutdug on SCN) got signed for me at the Ted Williams Museum Dinner on 02.10.2018. It was signed perfectly by the only player who can rival Byron Buxton with centerfield play. Thanks Doug!
